Researchers draw a blank in search for Amelia Earhart's plane
7/24/2012Where's Indy when you need him? Experts searching the Pacific Ocean for airplane wreckage from Amelia Earhart's final flight are returning to Hawaii after an unsuccessful expedition. The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) has been searching the area around Nikumaroro Island, where they believe Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan crashed during a round-the-world flight in 1937. The group will spend the next few months researching newly-collected sonar and video data and are planning another voyage next year, but TIGHAR President Pat Thrasher is warning against getting quick conclusions. "It's not like an Indiana Jones flick where you go through a door and there it is," he said. [Source]
